FOUNDATION DAY MASS & INDUCTION OF YOUTH MERCY ASSOCIATES
|
You're invited to Mercy High School for our
Foundation Day Mass
Thursday, December 12 at 10:15am
in the Auditorium. Worship with us as we celebrate the Sisters of Mercy Foundation Day and induct our new
Youth Mercy Associates
.
The Sisters of Mercy around the world celebrate December 12th as Foundation Day of the Mercy Community. On that day in 1831, Catherine McAuley, Mary Ann Doyle, and Elizabeth Harley professed vows as the first Sisters of Mercy in Dublin, Ireland. From their commitment to serve the poor, sick and uneducated, the Sisters of Mercy grew into thousands across the globe, reaching the United States in 1843 in Pittsburgh and establishing foundations throughout the U.S.

ADVENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR MERCY FAMILIES
|
As our semester winds to a close, Campus Ministry would like to offer all Mercy parents and students a couple of
prayer opportunities
to help you refine your focus in these final weeks of Advent.
|
Prayer Labyrinth - Mercy High School Chapel
Monday, December 16th available all school day from 8:00am to 2:30pm.
To most Christians who walk the labyrinth journey today, the walk in is called Purgation--a time for releasing, letting go of the cares and concerns that keep one distracted and stressed. The center of the labyrinth represents divine Illumination and Christ within, a place for receiving clarity and insight. The return walk is viewed as the path of Union, joining God, bringing back to the world a renewed vision or a refreshed spirit. To others, the labyrinth enhances their prayer life as a symbol of the world’s complexities and difficulties, which we experience in our journey through life. These are but some of the historic uses for the labyrinth embraced by Catholics and Christians throughout the world.
Advent Prayer Service - Mercy High School Chapel
Wednesday, December 18th, 11:30am - 12:00pm
Set aside 30 minutes to slow down and focus on this Advent season of waiting and anticipation. Set aside any stress and anxiety you might have and focus instead on the advent themes of Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love. This 30 minutes might be just what you need to find some mid-week grounding in the Spirit as we prepare to celebrate God’s incarnation.
